• What are the psychological effects of using a wheelchair?

After a motorcycle accident, I have to be in a wheelchair for a while while I undergo physical therapy. I'm too weak to even walk and it's making me feel small and helpless. What are some psychological effects of being in a wheelchair?

All depends on the person. Sometimes we don’t get many choices so we need to deal with the changes in our lives.
